Kale

Have you tried the power-house leafy green, KALE, yet?!
If not, maybe these factoids will give you the extra encouragement you need to pick some up at your local grocery store today (try to find organic)
What's New and Beneficial About Kale
from whfoods.com
Steamed Kale can provide you with some special cholesterol-lowering benefits. Raw kale still has cholesterol-lowering ability - just not as much.
Kale's risk-lowering benefits for cancer have recently been extended to at least five different types of cancer. These types include cancer of the bladder, breast, colon, ovary, and prostate. Kale is now recognized as providing comprehensive support for the body's detoxification system.
Wahoo.....DETOX without cayenne pepper, lemon juice and maple syrup!
Kale's flavonoids combine both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits in way that gives kale a leading dietary role with respect to avoidance of chronic inflammation and oxidative stress.
Good stuff huh!?
Here's some of the ways I like to add kale to my meals...
added to stir-fry w/ a ton of other veggies, lean chicken, and brown rice

or in pasta sauce

Aren't these bicycle noodles awesome!? Probably will make J and I bike faster.

Also try my kale chips recipe....so so good!
Let me know how you add kale to your next meal.
Until next time...
look good, feel good, do good
